Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appointment of the appellant as Assistant Manager in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation was invalid due to non-fulfillment of eligibility criteria as per Circular No. 80. The Court emphasized that the requirement of ten years of administrative experience was not met by the appellant, who had primarily worked as an X-Ray Technician. The judgment reinforced the principle that adherence to prescribed qualifications is essential for public employment, thereby affirming the lower court's ruling.
